My ten year multiple entry Canada visa dated 20th Feb.2020 is valid upto 15th January, 2021 upto the date of expiry of my passport. I have renewed my passport in December 2020. I want to travel to Canada in May, 2021. Can I travel on the old visa in my old passport with renewed passport? If not, do I need to reapply for visa?

  • If your visa, issued in Feb 2020, expires in January 2021, then you don't have a ten year visa.

Assuming this means that your passport and Canadian visa will expire on January 15, 2021, you would need to apply for a new visa.

Usually Canada doesn't issue a visitor visa beyond the validity of the passport. If the visa is expired, you cannot enter with it (with certain exceptions for study/work permit holders visiting US/St Pierre et Miquelon). You need to apply for a new visitor visa, but usually without too much difficulty barring significant change of circumstances (keep the COVID situation in mind, though).

If you have a valid (unexpired) visa in an old passport, you may use it with a new travel document.
